Hi guys, learning Japanese so I can speak to my girlfriend with more articulation! I’ve learnt hiragana, katakana and some basic phrases. What’s everyone’s experience with this site, is it as helpful as everyone says?

I did - I didn’t realize that was a thing until it posted, though… XD

That’s what I meant in my initial post in this thread, when I said Wanikani and the community has really kept me on track.
